anyone using a GMSA with Citrix PVS ? the documentation on it is a bit lacking. Does it support soap/stream services running under the GMSA ? do you set it manually on the services or do you need to re run the PVS Config wizard ? Can the GMSA be used for the PVS DB connection (Would need to create a SQL login for GMSA and assign perms to PVS DB) i presume the GMSA would need local admin rights on the PVS servers for soap related activity ?

great question - was about to look into this myself.

I've been using nothing but GMSAs for PVS (and WEM) for some time now. PVS Config Wizard handles everything, you do not have to configure services manually or create a SQL login as long as the user running the wizard has SQL permissions. Just enter the GMSA name with a $ at the end and leave the password field empty. Citrix docs is rather short about this https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/provisioning/current-release/configure/farm-configure-new.html#group-managed-service-accounts

i've been working on getting some of our scheduled tasks working and its been a pain in the ass on mcs machines to run startup tasks. I'd like to get my pvs services aligned as well because the rotating password process is a nightmare

Works great on PVS!
